Colophon

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The first draft of this book was written online, using Blogger, then Greymatter, and finally Movable Type. I took all that material and moved it into OpenOffice.org 1.0.1. Along the way, I used gEdit, Kwrite, and occasionally vim (sorry, but I couldn't find the text editor in emacs). The first rewrite was done in Open-Office.org 1.0.2. Then I hosed the the gdm login manager on my Linux machine and moved everything to my iBook. The entire final draft was completed in Apple's TextEdit. Mary Brady was the production editor and the copyeditor for Just a Geek. Philip Dangler was the proofreader. Darren Kelly and Claire Cloutier provided quality control.

Ellie Volckhausen designed the cover of this book and produced the cover layout with Adobe InDesign 2.0.2 using Adobe's Syntax font and Shy Font's Movie Poster.

David Futato designed the interior layout. This book was converted by Julie Hawks to FrameMaker 5.5.6. The text font is Adobe's Bembo; the heading font is Syntax; and the code font is LucasFont's TheSans Mono Condensed. The cartoons for each Act were drawn by John Kovalic, Director of Dork Tower (http://www.kovalic.com/).
